In England fee-paying schools are often misleadingly called "public" schools. Their registers and other records are discussed separately in the article [[Public Schools and their Records|Public Schools and their Records]]. | In England fee-paying schools are often misleadingly called "public" schools.

[[Image:England School house old.jpg|thumb|right|322x242px]]The majority of schools for which records survive are those taken over by the local education authorities in 1902 (but see also the note on National Society schools above). Although most schools after 1870 kept an admission register, not all have survived. As mentioned above they usually show, under the date of entry, the child's name and address and his or her date of birth. Some registers, but not all, also show the name and occupation of the parent or guardian, the name of the previous school attended and the reason for leaving. | [[Image:England School house old.jpg|thumb|right|322x242px|England School house old.jpg]]The majority of schools for which records survive are those taken over by the local education authorities in 1902 (but see also the note on National Society schools above).

A very few school log books are found from the 1840s, but in 1862 the elementary schools, which received government grants, were required to maintain daily (from 1871, weekly) logs in which the head teacher was to record the "ordinary progress" of the school. Schools without a certificated head teacher and thus not qualifying for a grant, and those where the buildings did not meet government standards, were not required to keep logs. Partly for this reason, not many survive prior to about 1870. | A very few school log books are found from the 1840s, but in 1862 the elementary schools, which received government grants, were required to maintain daily (from 1871, weekly) logs in which the head teacher was to record the "ordinary progress" of the school.
